Everyone but me prolly knows this already, but for those who don't...
I was looking for an adapter to squish an 18mm motor in my new WIP for flying around the house (lots of trees close by) and did a quick browse of the 24mm selections on the Apogee website. I'm impressed.
I almost wish I hadn't dropped the thrust ring in my MiniMeanie (chopped down Mean Machine). I found a C motor that will work well for around the house, but also discovered that the 24mm mount can carry to pretty toasty Gs. I knew F and G were options on composites but didn't realize how many motors are out there for this size, some requiring an L1 cert.
I was looking up the mount adapters to help decide if it was worth the money versus taking five minutes to roll a tube and make it fit. Will probably just be getting some C11s instead and happy with those, they'll stay around 300ft which works for me.
Turns out I won't be so lucky with the next build I have planned which is nearly identical but fitted with a 29mm mount and some tube stiffening. Maybe I'll get an adaptor for that one, lol.
